This hotel is perfectly located for a visit to downtown Detroit. My son and I were in town to attend the Detroit Auto Show and COBO Hall is just a short two block walk from the hotel. The room rates are reasonable for a Marriott but, as in many center city hotels, the food and drinks were quite pricey.

The public spaces of the facility appear to have been renovated since our last visit a few years ago. The rooms are of standard Marriott quality, although a bit small. The furnishings, however, are due for an update. A flat screen TV, a small refrigerator and free Wi-Fi help make the stay pleasant. Bedding is quite comfortable and a variety of pillows are available for the asking.

The Volt lounge in the lobby is a great place to have a sandwich and a drink. The service, however, might best be described as uninspired. The other hotel restaurant, 42 Degrees, serves a very nice breakfast buffet (the only meal we had there) with a great view of the river into Windsor , Ontario.

This was our third stay and we plan to return on our next trip to Detroit.

I picked this hotel because it was close to Cobo Hall. My check in experience was very good and quick. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. The room, though not anything exceptionally outstanding, is clean and spacious. This is a typical Marriott hotel room. The drawback to the room is the bathroom is very small. The staff at the hotel is very attentive to the needs of the guests. The atmosphere is very modern. The hotel is part of the GM Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit. It is convenient to all of the sites in downtown Detroit. This hotel is a typical Marriott Hotel. The room value is okay. The roads could use some insulation to block out the hallway noise. Several times to mice stay I was awaken by noises in the hallway. The rooms also could use a little updating. Aside from these minor issues, I would consider staying at the Detroit Marriott at GM Renaissance Center again.

The rooms at the Marriott had decent flat screen TVs and looked like the bathrooms were recently remodeled. The double beds initially felt very soft and mushy but were actually quite comfortable for sleeping. The main disappointment was the room size. Because of the round shape of the hotel, all the rooms are pie shaped and very narrow when you walk in. We stayed on the 64th floor and the view was spectacular.

Stayed here for a weekend on points for a Detroit Tigers game and had the best view. Perfect view overlooking the Detroit River and Canada. Rooms were the normal set-up for a Marriott and a little dated but they were certainly comfortable. Loved the River Walk right outside the door. We walked up and down each morning before breakfast. Plenty of places to eat in the area and the Greek Town Casino is just a couple stops away on the People Mover. You can catch the People Mover right outside the hotel. Very convenient location.

Downtown Detroit is not a tourist mecca, so there are few hotels of any quality. The Ren Cen Marriott, however, is a perfectly adequate location if you have to do business at the convention center Cobo Hall. The "People Mover," a two-car tram goes from a stop adjoining the hotel (and easy to reach indoors, important in the cold winter months) to Cobo Hall reasonably quickly. Going back, there is only one stop before you get back to the Renaissance Center stop.There are some decent restaurants in the hote; or the Renaissance Center. There is a decent restaurant in the hotel (thought it is a bit hard to find: Head toward the gift shop, then bear right and keep on walking.). Joe Muer's is on the ground floor and is a nice spot, especially for seafood, but a bit pricey. hidden on the level below level 1 (I can't explain, just trust me) is a food court that is open during the week and I believe a few places are open on the weekend. Usual food court stuff (even a Mickey D's) with merciful food court prices for those who work in the office towers of the Ren. Cen.During the winter the floor to ceiling glass in the rooms does provide great views (try to get a room above floor 35 or better yet 45) but those same windows can get VERY cold. Pull the drapes and crank up the heat. Rooms are decent size and have Marriott style furnishings...seen one, seen 'em all.Parking: Skip valet if at all possible and park right across the entrance in the garage. If you are there 2 or more nights ask the parking manager (little booth at garage entrance) for a pass that will give you in-and-out priviledges for the same price as a day charge. if you don't do that you could wind up paying 2 to 3 times more than the daily $20 rate. The parking manager I found was grumpy, but I got my pass.

Room Tip: get a higher floor if possible. Some of the views from the upper floors can be really outstanding...
